CONFERENCE:
Monday November 30 and Tuesday December 1
Deakin University, Burwood Campus
What are the inventions of creative research?
Creative arts scholars are experimenting with the possibilities of creative research – embedding research programs into creative projects and exploring the collaborative potential of creative research, in both university-based and extra-university projects.
For many creative research projects, the possibility of putting to work creative methods is often fraught with difficulties in terms of wider acceptance in the research community. Yet creative research can provide a fundamental and important source of knowledge that cannot be accessed by way of traditional research methods.
The increasing prominence of creative research raises urgent questions for how scholars in the field can articulate this mode of research as an important site of knowledge-making and interdisciplinary, collaborative practice with real-world implications.
The conference will address three main streams of enquiry:
• Creative research as a site for knowledge-making and innovation
• The broader, interdisciplinary and industry applications of creative research
• Measuring the impact and assessing the value of creative research
We welcome papers and presentations that address these and other streams of enquiry relating to creative research and its applications.
Abstracts of no more than 200 words should be forwarded by the extended deadline of September 30 to Elizabeth Braithwaite at elizabeth.braithwaite@deakin.edu.au
Abstracts will be refereed and selected papers will be published as conference proceedings on the conference website. There may be a book publication resulting from the conference, and delegates will be encouraged to submit papers after the event to undergo double-blind refereeing for possible inclusion.

One day: $70
Two days: $140
